Good afternoon, 12s.
Here's a look at what's "out there" for today - Friday, May 15 - about your Seattle Seahawks:
Fight On, Pete Carroll
Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll was on site at USC today to receive an honorary degree from the school he coached to two national championships. He was one of six recipients in this year's class.

Here's a snippet on the Seattle coach from USC's commencement site:
Carroll returned USC football to national prominence during his nine-year tenure as head coach at the university. His "Always Compete" philosophy has led to a successful four-decade career in football. Carroll is one of just a few coaches in football history to have won a Super Bowl and a national college championship. He is also the founder of A Better LA and A Better Seattle, two gang-violence prevention and community-building organizations that empower inner-city youth and forge relationships with service organizations.
Carroll will also be inducted into the Trojans' Athletics Hall of Fame on Saturday.

Today's 'Tweet of the Day' comes from Seattle mayor Ed Murray, who shares of photo of himself with Seahawks defensive end Michael Bennett on 'Bike To Work Day.'
